In Mu Baicheng’s eyes, Mu Xiaoxiao had always been quite excellent from a young age, just sometimes a bit stubborn. However, her values were sound, and she never made any serious mistakes.
All her actions stemmed from good intentions, and she was not a malicious person.
Lin Guixiang’s face was very red.
Mu Baicheng went on, "Besides a son and a daughter, I also have a mother over eighty years old. Although she’s aged, she’s still quite healthy and currently lives in Capital City, cared for by two nannies at home."
"Additionally, I have an older sister. My sister also married abroad, and we have a very good relationship. After my ex-wife’s death, I was very grateful to her for helping me take care of the children; otherwise, I really wouldn’t have known what to do as a man on my own."
"..."
Mu Baicheng shared his past in painstaking detail, and Lin Guixiang listened intently, occasionally asking a few questions that interested her.
Happy times always passed quickly, and soon, the car stopped in the parking garage of Tang Dynasty Yipin.
Mu Baicheng exited the car somewhat reluctantly.
Lin Guixiang also got out of the car, holding the flowers.
The two headed towards the elevator entrance, and Mu Baicheng asked, "By the way, Ah Xiang, when do you start work?"
"The eighteenth day of the first lunar month, after the Lantern Festival."
The holiday period at Beauty Chant was quite long.
Most businesses started their holidays on New Year’s Eve and resumed work on the eighth day of the first lunar month.
But Lin Guixiang wanted her employees to spend the New Year properly with their families, so she gave them a nineteen-day holiday.
Not only the management department had a nineteen-day holiday, but the factory and store staff as well. Moreover, the salaries at Beauty Chant were very good.
So when the holiday announcement was made, everyone envied the employees of Beauty Chant.
Today was already the eleventh day of the first lunar month.
That meant Lin Guixiang still had seven days left of her holiday.
Considering this, Mu Baicheng then asked, "Ah Xiang, have you ever traveled to other cities?"
Lin Guixiang smiled and replied, "I’ve been on business trips."
But she really hadn’t gone on a trip just for travel.
Mu Baicheng’s eyes lit up, "How about we go out and have fun tomorrow? I just happen to have a travel plan recently."
Travel?
Lin Guixiang didn’t immediately agree, instead asking, "Where do you plan to travel to?"
"Have you ever seen the ocean?" Mu Baicheng inquired.
Lin Guixiang shook her head.
"Then, how about we go see the ’Blue Tears’?"
"Blue Tears?" Lin Guixiang’s eyes were filled with curiosity.
Mu Baicheng explained, "Blue Tears are a natural phenomenon in the sea, but this phenomenon can only be seen on an island in Hangjiang City. The island is very beautiful and quite suitable for vacation travel."
It was even more suitable for couples to visit.
Lin Guixiang said, "Let me think about it when I get home and I’ll give you an answer later."
"Sure, no rush," Mu Baicheng didn’t want to pressure Lin Guixiang, "Take your time, there will be many more opportunities in the future."
Ding!
The elevator doors opened at that moment.
The two of them entered.
Mu Baicheng pressed the elevator floor button.
They quickly reached the 26th floor.
Mu Baicheng turned to Lin Guixiang, "Ah Xiang, I should go back now."
"Okay."
Mu Baicheng followed with, "Good night."
"Good night."
He stayed until the elevator doors closed.
When Lin Guixiang got home, Lin Wu was feeding Shaliva.
After more than half a year of care, Shaliva had completely lost any signs of being a stray, becoming plump and very smart. Upon seeing Lin Guixiang coming home, he immediately ran to her side meowing, then began rubbing against her legs.
Lin Wu glanced back to see the fresh flowers in Lin Guixiang’s hands and teased, "Mom, congratulations."
"Thank you, Xiao Wu."
If not for Lin Wu’s encouragement, Lin Guixiang wouldn’t have easily stepped out of her insecurities, nor would she have dared to readily accept Mu Baicheng’s confession.
Lin Guixiang found a vase for the roses, then said, "Your Uncle Mu invited me to travel to Hangjiang City. Do you think I should go?"
"You definitely should, otherwise how will you cultivate a relationship? Plus, you’re not busy recently," replied Lin Wu.
Once Beauty Chant resumed operations, Lin Guixiang wouldn’t have time to travel.
While arranging the flowers, Lin Guixiang said, "But, I’ve just confirmed my relationship with your Uncle Mu. Isn’t it a bit improper to travel with him so soon?"
"Mom, we’re not in a feudal society anymore. It’s just a trip, not an immediate marriage," Lin Wu picked up Shaliva, "People only get to know each other through spending time together. If you don’t try to be with Uncle Mu, you’ll never truly understand what kind of person he is."
